I very often get smileys from outlook users which display as "J".
And what should be showed in place of J?
in place of J, in Wingdings font you have a very beautiful smiling
smiley. JKL is smiling, neutral anf angry ... only Wingdings offer
that.
When you specify a font to display certain character, it doesn't
change the character itself. In case the receiver doesn't have the
font you've suggested, the character is displayed in a font
available to him. You effectively suggest a character should be
displayed using a glyph meant to represent totally different character.
You also don't seem to grasp Wingdings doesn't have a glyph to
character mapping, which makes it impossible to use for rendering
any characters which otherwise the font appears to contain glyphs for.
The guy who wrote a mail to me using Outlook, use J,K and L in
Wingdings, i have Wingdings installed on my pc, so, normally, SM (as
other browsers/mailreaders does) must/should display the 3 smiley
accordingly.
If I'm not mistaken only Windows have Wingdings, so it is far from
"normally". You should understand styling, such as specifying a
specific font family, is optional and an user may have chosen to
ignore such specifications. The content itself, the character "J"
is not changed - just displayed using ones preferred styling/font.
Relying on "J" displayed as something completely different is
hilarious, the very least.
